SCA Eurobraced tank and Radions

[Jhillreef]

Is there a way for the standard eco tech mounting arms to fit on the SCA 150g ? I have the standard mounting arms currently on another tank.

you have to use two arms opposed to each other

Do you have a picture of it? I’m still not understanding it…

I don't believe there is a way to make the arms work on eurobracing. The width of the brace is too long, or wide. Hanging is probably the main option.

i have a 120 gallon eurobraced tank and Gen 5 Radions with an RMS mount so its very possible.
The solution is to remove the vice-like clamps from the bottom of the RMS. Once they're unthreaded and pulled off you basically set the mount on the tank edges (with the tightening bolts loose) squeeze the mounts together in until friction is gained and tighten everything up.
definitely not as secure as them pinching the glass but by no means an issue. if OP can't figure it out by the time i get home from work i'll do my best to post a photo to remove all doubt

I guess he could add some double sided tape to make it a little stable.

its actually very solid. The flat feet coupled with the squeeze from the mount makes for a rigid setup. its would take a massive hit to tip it over.

Looks good.

it does. i was actually kind of disappointed when i had to remove the clamps and wasn't crazy about the result. after i installed it and saw how great it worked out i'm definitely warmed up to it

Have a pic of the bracket area? So I take the bolt and clamp off but what’s securing it ?

I can't figure out what's holding Landlubber's RMS mounts either. It looks to me like those lights are gonna go swimming, but apparently they don't. Ergo, it must be magic.

I know this is old but @landlubber can you please show us more pictures of how you did this?

Thanks,
